What the San Francisco Grand Jury Saws
of jury Rribinr

What the San Francisco Grand jury Says
of Jury-Bribing.
SAN Francisco, November 23d.- TSpe
cial. The Grand Jury filed its final report
to-day. In relation to the bribery report it
is as follows:
we ehaveinvestigated the charges of Jury
bribing and find it to have been carried on
here to defeat the ends of justice 1t is a
disgrace to our city and country. We have
found indictments against persons where
the evidence was clear and convincing.
and we hope our successors will continue
the investigation of this subject until the
guilty are punished and this base crime is
made odlous in this community"
The city and county departments were
criticised, some favorably and some ad-
versely, but no serious administration
was found in any. The report further
says:
" The allegations made by an ex-Judge
of the Supreme Court in brief filed be-
fore the honorable Supreme Court of this
State, that an untitled check, properly
signed, was offered to the Hon. J. +. Sulli-
van, Judge of the Superior Court, Depart
ment Two, of this city, to influence his de-
cision in the case of Sharon VS.. Sharon,
were investigated and found to be false and
without foundation.
Certain charges made against the Hon.
D. ]. Murphy, Judge of the Superior
Court, Department Twelve, of this city,
were fully investigated and found ground-
less and without foundation. We fully ex-
onerate Judge Murphy from said charges.
Startling developments were brought to
light by papers found in the safe of Wing,
Fong & Co. Valuable information was OBJ
tained from these documents; but, accord
ing to Pete's admissions, papers of still
greater value should have been found in
this safe. Why they so suddenly disap-
peared is only matter of conjecture"

WASHINGTON, November 23d.-ISpecial. I
1t is reported that soon after Congress
assemblies resolution will be introduced
IN the House, requesting the President to
terminate the existing lease of the fur-seal
islands OF st. Paul and St George to the
Alaska Commercial Company, and further
declaring it the sense of Congress that such
islands should not be again leased. The
idea is that these islands should be thrown
open to fishermen during certain seasons
OF the year, under such restrictions and
regulations, as regards the killing of seals,
as Congress may prescribe
The seizure of vessels engaged in the seal
fisheries in the open water of Behring sea,
and confiscating their cargoes, has attracted
great deal of notice here. 1t will be as
serted that it is against the policy of the
Government to give any private COMPANY
monopoly over any industry that can be
prosecuted by individuals on any part of
the public domain, and that to throw the
seal fisheries open TO the public will
cheaper the price of furs, and develop a
large industry on the Pacific coast. In
support of such resolution it will be urged
that there is no longer a reason for attempt
ing to make Alaska self-supporting, because
of the gradual development of the inland
resources of the Territory and the vast sur
plus in the National Treasury.

New YORK, November 23d-The work of
getting jury to try Johann Most was con-
tinued to-day, and shortly after noon
twelve men had been secured, who were
satisfactory to both sides. The jury was
then sworn. Colonel Fellows summed up
the case for the prosecution. Detective
Roth was the first witness called, and he
was followed by Detective SAKE
The sS-examination OF SAKE was begun
bv Mr.. Howe An effort was made to show
that the witness had given different testi-
mony before the Grand Jury. Witness had
not given his account of the meeting so full
as at the trial, and he admitted having
made a mistake before the Grand jury in
saying that Most began his speech with the
words, Fellow slaves" The words used
by Most were Bruder Anarchists" He
thought Most had used the English plural
to Anarchists" and not the German.
Simon Dryfus, a reporter, corroborated
the other witnesses substantially. A man
had sat next to him at the meeting who
jumped up, saying, why not to-day :?
We're ready" Most concluded bv saving

THE WORST PROBABLY OVER
New ORLEANS, November 23d. - The
States correspondent at Thibodeaux saws
the casualties so far are sufficiently numer-
GUS, but the opinion among the best citi-
zens is that the worst is over. The pas
slons aroused by the utterances of the New
Orleans Communists, or self-styled friends
of labor, have been stilled, and no more
blood will be shed, nor lives lost.
The feeling against these New Orleans
Communists is very strong, and on every
side their conduct is denounced in the
most unmeasured terms.

roTest FIRES Continue to Devastate
Tennessee and Arkansas.
MEMPHIS (Tenn.), November 23d.-The
ravages of forest fires show no abatement
in this section. In Arkansas, near Desars,
the range on both prairie and in the bot
toms has been most completely destroyed
the past ten days, and the smoke has been
SO dense that it has for several days OBJ
scured the sun. The town was and is
practically surrounded by forest fires, and
everybody feels great uneasiness.
In the neighborhood of Okalona, Ark,
forest firest are sweeping the mountains,
valleys and bottoms, destroying fences and
other property.
AN APPALLING STATE OF AFFAIRS.
MEMPHIS, November 23d.-P. MA spe-
cial tonight from Lula, Miss, says that
forest fires have been raging throughout the
1azoo Delta for the past two days, carry
ing great destruction in their wake. There
has been a great loss of cotton, corn, fences
and out-houses, and in some instances gin
houses and baras have been destroyed.
The greatest damage, however, has been to
timber. Magnificent cypress brakes in
many instances are almost denuded, en-
failing losses of many thousands of dollars.
The smoke has been so dense that people
have suffered beyond endurance Cotton
in the field has been turned to a yellowish
cast, and it is almost impossible to have
washing done.
The flames in Hatchie Bottom, famed
by the prevailing winds, have carried dev-
astation before them. Thousands of acres
of forest have been destroyed, and the
switch has been utterly consumed in
the valleys. Hatchie river cane, which
has been the chief dependence for winter
forage for cattle, is effectually destroyed,
and old settlers say it will be ten years
before it can be renewed.
PR0VIDENTIAL RAIN.
Tonight gentle rain is falling. It seems
general and may stay the ravageS of the

them the goodness and propriety of issuing
Thanksgiving proclamations, until in 1850
the day was observed in ali The States but

wrote to President Lincoln on the subject.
